Chapter 74 Sword Cultivator Shiyan (89)

"Shiyan, have you thought about your future?"

Small courtyard.

In the main hall.

He Lian was having a regular heart-to-heart meeting with his third disciple, Shao Shiyan. Although Shao Shiyan had to postpone his spiritual awakening for a year, it was now less than a year and a half away from his spiritual awakening.

In the past, both Wu Junming and Qi Boyan had heart-to-heart talks at this similar time point.

However, compared to the first two, Shao Shiyan's path is probably the most determined.

Sure enough, Shao Shiyan, who was still carefree and slumped on the Eight Immortals chair, raised the spiritual sword in his hand and said: "Of course I want to become a sword cultivator, one of a kind, free in the world, punishing rape and eradicating evil.

A swordsman who can come and go freely."

He Lian scratched his head and was a little speechless. He spent a long time organizing his words before saying: "Then have you ever thought about how you can be unique, free from the world, punish rape and eliminate evil, and come and go freely?"

"Simple!"

Shao Shiyan sat upright and said with a smile: "Being the best swordsman in the world, wouldn't it mean that you would be unique, free from the world, punish rape and eliminate evil, and be free to come and go?"

He Lian felt that the two of them were talking about tongue twisters, but Shao Shiyan's goal was too high.

"Shi Yan, people should not set too high goals for themselves, otherwise they will live an unhappy life.

Don't always compare yourself with others, that will put the cart before the horse. Let's say you are the best swordsman in the world. How do you want others to recognize you? When you meet another swordsman, do you have to draw your sword? Then you will have many enemies in the future.

.

Of course, we can’t completely ignore the competition, otherwise there would be no sense of accomplishment, right?”

He Lian was actually a little bit psychologically affected by Qi Boyan. Qi Boyan was too talented and too ambitious, so he plunged into the "Five Transformations of Spiritual Fire Technique". It has been more than two years, and the actual progress of the research has only been slightly advanced.

However, there is no other way. Qi Boyan's spiritual qualifications are too poor. He has a road in Huashan Mountain in front of him, so he has to do it if he can't.

But Shao Shiyan has many choices. There is no need to plant too high goals in his heart at a young age. After all, the life of a monk is very long and there will be many opportunities. No one knows what the future will hold.

Facing He Lian's sincere words, Shao Shiyan, who was almost fifteen years old, frowned slightly and couldn't help but argue: "Master, do you have little confidence in me? Do you think I can't become the best swordsman in the world?"

He Lian did not answer directly, only said: "At the Spirit Opening Conference next year, your kid will be sixteen years old. What if you fail to kill the first-level low-grade monster with one sword?

Do you want to postpone it for another year? Then you will be seventeen by then, and it will be more difficult to open your soul. If it is not successful by then."

"impossible!"

Shao Shiyan jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on.

"It's not that Master doesn't believe in you or discourages you, but that people have certain limits at every stage. It's gratifying to be able to break through the limits, but sometimes manpower is exhausted, and if you can't reach it, you just can't reach it.

Therefore, no matter how you behave or do things, you must have a plan, and when it really doesn't work, take a step back.

Otherwise, you will push yourself into a dead end from time to time, and there will always be a day when you fall."

Seeing He Lian's seriousness, Shao Shiyan calmed down a bit. After sitting down, he thought about it carefully and said, "Master, do you mean what is said in the "Sword Classic" is that it is extremely strong and easy to break?"

The so-called "Sword Classic" is nothing more than the cultivation experiences and insights of some low-level sword cultivators that He Lian commissioned Chen Feng to find. Shao Shiyan regarded them as treasures and often pondered them.

"You still have some sense, kid."

"That's right, I understand what Master means. Before opening the spirit next year, if I can't kill a first-level low-grade monster with one sword, then I will open the spirit, but I will definitely be able to do it!"

He Lian nodded happily. He didn't ask for much. He just wanted Shao Shiyan to stop trying.

"Besides, you don't necessarily have to be the best swordsman in the world to achieve your pursuit.

For example, if you are unique, if you become the strongest swordsman among weapon refiners and the most powerful swordsman among sword cultivators, wouldn’t that also be unique?”

Shao Shiyan's eyes lit up, and he immediately drew inferences and said: "Yes, I can be free and free as long as I am at ease in my heart. I can punish rapes and eradicate evil as long as I have a higher cultivation level than the evildoers. I can be free to come and go as long as I run fast and no one can catch me."

Just go up.

Haha, Master, I understand."

"As long as you know."

He Lian felt relieved when he saw that Shao Shiyan had listened. In the future, when accepting disciples, he should never be too sharp-edged, and his expectations should not be too high.

He Lian had a premonition that Qi Boyan would become a problem for him sooner or later, and he never wanted a second problem to appear.

Seeing He Lian reaching out to the table next to him, the obedient child immediately picked up the tea and handed it to He Lian's hand.

"Master Immortal, please drink tea."

"Well, Qing'er is good."

This new servant boy is called Xu Qing'er, and he is a member of the clan leader Xu Daoyuan. However, because he is a little girl, He Lian was a little uncomfortable with it at first.

However, after getting along with her for this period of time, He Lian felt that this girl was the most well-behaved, considerate, and easy-to-manage among all the servants he had experienced so far. He simply liked her very much.

Therefore, although He Lian started sprinting towards foundation building, he would also spend an hour every day teaching this girl, and sometimes Qi Boyan and Zhao Huo'er would teach on their behalf.

Xu Qing'er's talent in weapon refining is far inferior to that of Qi Boyan, and only better than Shao Shiyan. However, this girl can be calm, endure hardships, and can take the initiative to learn at a young age. He Lian feels that she still has a bright future.

"Qing'er, go and bring the forbidden map to me so that I can recite it."

"yes."

When Xu Qing'er took back the forbidden map and carried it in front of He Lian, shaking his head, Shao Shiyan finally understood.

"Master, I have completely figured it out. As long as I have strong swordsmanship, superb weapon refining, pure heart and fast running, I can realize my pursuit.

If you achieve these points, you will be happy if you can become the best swordsman in the world. If not, there will be a stronger swordsman than me. I will not provoke him, just practice my own.

Oops, now I feel like my future is bright. Thanks to Master for your guidance, I’m going to practice swordplay!”

Shao Shiyan grinned, bowed to He Lian and prepared to go out, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Headmaster Xu and his own grandfather at the door.

Shao Shiyan was a free-spirited guy and not very formal, so he saluted the two of them.

"Greetings to the master, hello to the master, I'm going to practice my sword."

With that said, he took a step forward, and then his whole body turned into blue smoke, and then reappeared outside the hall. This is a way of using Shao Shiyan's special qualification - the body of cloud and mist.

This was the first time Xu Daoyuan met him, and he only said: "This kid Shiyan can use his special qualifications before he has awakened his spirit?"

Shao Changqing knew a thing or two, and said modestly: "I have only achieved a little success in physical training, so I can borrow a thing or two, but it all depends on He Lian's careful teaching."

When He Lian saw the two of them, he quickly stood up, stepped aside, and then bowed.

"Meet the leader, meet the master."

"No courtesy, please sit down."

After the three of them sat down respectively, Xu Qing'er, who had finished memorizing the forbidden map, saw her ancestor coming and quickly saluted.

"Well, Qing'er, be good, go out and play by yourself, I'll talk to your master about something."

Xu Qing'er retreated obediently, and He Lian couldn't help but curse: I haven't accepted Qing'er as my disciple yet, how come I have the title of master?

However, the slander was a slander, but the head of his family had already spoken, and He Lian knew that he had no room to refuse.

Xu Daoyuan is a very straightforward person. When Xu Qing'er stepped back, he immediately put up a soundproof cover and said, "Who else knows about the 'Xuanhuang Seal'?"

He Lian's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately replied: "My wife Zhao Huo'er, Jia Ying's master Chen Nan, and Fu Chuan Dao's qi training disciple Tang Xiaoshan and Jia Ying's younger brother Jia Lin should also know something about it."

"Then let's wait until Zhao Huo'er comes."

While Xu Daoyuan was speaking, several flying lights shot out from his hands, as did Shao Changqing on the side.

While waiting for Zhao Huo'er, the three of them also started chatting.

"I heard what Shi Yan said just now. This boy is really big-hearted. Unfortunately, our Baiyi Sect swordsmanship inheritance is very small. This boy's future will not be easy."

"It's not that there is nothing. There were a few sword cultivators from the Zaoyi Academy back then. It's just that this bastard was not based on skills, but on swordsmanship, which greatly goes against the orthodox principles of our Hundred Arts Sect."

The righteous path of Baiyi Sect is the evil path in the eyes of other sects, "using side arts to approach the great road", but this is the righteous inheritance of Baiyi Sect.

"Anyway, this kid is much stronger than he was a few years ago. Now he can refine high-grade spiritual weapons and swords with a mortal body. He would have never dared to think about it in the past. Thanks to He Lian's hard work, I am willing to give it up."

It’s greatly worth it.”

Shao Changqing seemed quite satisfied with Shao Shiyan, and He Lian was somewhat relieved.

Zhao Huoer came very quickly. After entering the hall and greeting the two of them, he sat down next to He Lian. Xu Daoyuan and Shao Changqing immediately looked solemn.

"This time in the Hefu secret realm, disciple Jia Ying used the 'Xuanhuang Seal' you refined to kill all nineteen people from the Rong family who participated in the secret realm. Only one person was left, and he was frightened and went crazy."

Xu Daoyuan's first words made He Lian's heart beat wildly, but at the same time he was surprised and felt a sense of joy in his heart. He couldn't help clenching his fists and secretly cheered for Jia Ying: "Well done, Senior Sister Jia!"

"One of the people from the Rong family participating in the secret realm of Hefu this time is a direct descendant of the Rong family's Nascent Soul monk Rong Qingsheng. Rong Qingsheng attaches great importance to this son, and his qualifications are also the highest in the Rong family in the past twenty years.

.

This son has a high-grade spiritual root. He opened his spirit at the age of fourteen and reached the perfection of Qi training in seven years. Now he is only twenty-two years old. The young man is arrogant and disdains the blessings of blood. He wants to rely on his own strength, but he is trapped in Hefu this time.

Secret realm.

The Rong family will never let this matter go, and my uncle already expects that the Rong family will come knocking on our door soon."

He Lian's heart tightened and his expression became serious. Although he had already anticipated the consequences of the killing spree against Jia Ying, He Lian did not expect that the Yuanying monks of the Rong family would intervene so quickly and come to the door.
